Posting announcements on main web page

[k3w]

Looking for a hack to put announcements on my main page similar to the main vbulletin.org front page. I found this hack -- > https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=51233
but it says I don't have sufficient priveleges to download it. Any ideas? I bought my board and I'm registered and licensed, don't see a reason why it shouldn't work for me.

Thanks

Well were do we start??

The hack is for version Version: 2.3.x which i guess will not work at all with the latest vbullutin. It came out in 2003 (6 years ago)

Secondly its in the archives which cannot be downloaded

best bet would be to try and contact the author and ask if an update will be made? But since he's not been online since 2007 i wouldn't hold your breath for a reply.

Members do change with the times, they may not use vbulletin anymore or move on to other interests, so good luck in your quest

Thanks for the reply! That explains why I couldn't download it, lol.


Anyone elsehave any ideas? Obviously it can be done because vbulletin.org and several other websites I've seen have been doing it.

Thanks
